IGNATZ F. KAZ MIERCZAK, OF DETROIT, MICHIGAN.

CURTAIN-BRACKET.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, IGNATZ F. KAZ- MIEROZAK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Detroit, in the county of \Vayne and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Qurtain-Brackets, of which the following 1s a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in combined curtain shade roller brackets and curtain roller brackets, and has for one 01 its objects to provide a simply constructed device which may be readily adjusted to window casings of varying widths and adapted to be secured in position without the necessity for employing screws, nails or other like fastening devices, and without marring or defacing the casings or frames.

WVith these and other objects in view, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction as hereinafter shown and described and then specifically pointed out in the claims.

Figure 1 is a front elevation of the upper portion of a window casing and the sash with the improvement applied. Fig. 2 1s a side elevation of the improved device as shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is an enlarged longitudinal sectional view. Fig. 4 is an enlarged perspective view.

The improved device comprises a tubular body 10 having a lateral flange 11 at one end. Slidably engaging within the member 10 is a rod 12 having a longitudinally extending threaded bore 13 opening through the red at one end and with a lateral flange 13 and a winged turning head 14 at the other end. Fitting within the tubular member 10 is a threaded rod 15 which engages in the threaded bore 13 of the member 12 and is provided with a head 16 at one end bearing against the flange 11 of the body 10. By this means it will be obvious that the rod 12 may be adjusted longitudinally of the body 10 by merely rotating the rod through the medium of the turning head 14. to locate the flanges 11-43 nearer together or farther apart as may be required.

The members 10-12 are designed to carry a bracket having means for supporting the shade rollers and the curtain poles, and the bracket is first bent intermediate its ends and entwisted in the bend as shown at 17 leaving a loop 17 at the outer end of the entwisted portion. The bracket members are thence diverged as shown at 18-19 and Specification of Letters Patent.

coiled at 20-21 respectively around the members 10 and 12 and against the flanges 11-12. The bracket members are thence carried rearwardly in the form of arms 22-23 and terminate in inwardly directed spurs 2l25. The spurs are designed to enter the opposite edges of a window casing and by manipulating the turn head 14 it will be obvious that the sides of the bracket may be moved toward each other to cause the spurs 24l25 to engage in the casing. It will also be obvious that the bracket being formed of wire can be distended or clasped to any required extent to adapt the device to casings of varying widths within the range of the tubular member 10 and the internally threaded rod 12. Coiled at 26 around the member 10 intermediate its ends is another wire device which is directed downwardly at one end as shown at 27 and terminates in a socket 28 to receive the bearing of the curtain roller. Two of the brackets will be employed to each window, one at each side, and the member 28 of one of the brackets will be elongated as shown in Fig. 2 to receive the flattened bearing of the curtain roller, while the other member 28 will be circular to receive the rounded bearing of the curtain roller as shown in Fig. 4. The run-ward coil 26 is extended as shown at 29 and thence directed downwardly as shown at 30 with a loop 31 at its lower end and thence obliquely as shown at 32 and passes throiilgh the loop 18 and bent into a relatively large socket or hook 33 in advance of the loop. The portion 30 of the bracket bears against the adjacent face of the casing represented at 3 1 while the larger loops or hooks 33 are designed to receive the curtain pole. Under some circumstances a fastening screw may be employed in the loop 31.

It will thus be obvious that a simply constructed device is produced which may be inexpensively manufactured, and operates effectually for independently supporting shade rollers or curtain poles and which may be readily adjusted without structural change to window casings of various widths and terms.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is:

1. A window pole and shade bracket com prising an outer tubular member, an inner tubular member internally threaded and telescopically engaging the outer tubular member, a threaded rod engaging the inner tubular member and'extending through the outer tubular member and having a head engaging against the outer end ofithe same,i

means for rotating the inner tubular mem- .ber, clamp member's carried respectively by said tubular members and adapted to engage a Window, and pole brackets connectedto said clamping means.

2. A Window pole and shade bracket comprising body members telescopically engaging, means for forcibly adjusting said body members longitudinally, a clamping device formed from Wire and including spaced sides coiled intermediate the ends respectively around the body members and With inwardly directed casing engaging spurs at Copies of this patent may be obtained for one end and united into an eye at the other end, and a combined curtain pole and shade support formed from a single piece.. .ofwire and including a vertical portion coiled near one end around one of said body membersand extended into a shade-roller journal'bearing, and a diagonal bracing portion extend'ihg through the eye of the clamping portion and terminating in a pole receiving hook said five cents each, by addressing the Commissioner of Patents, Washington, D.
